Description
Maggie Bright by Tracy Groot is a Christian historical novel set in England in 1940, during the early years of the Second World War. Clare Childs unexpectedly inherits the Maggie Bright, a fifty-two-foot yacht, and hopes the boat will give her the fresh start she needs. Instead, she discovers that it is hiding documents that could expose part of Hitler’s plans and draw the attention of Scotland Yard.
When the German Blitzkrieg drives the British army into retreat towards Dunkirk, Churchill calls on civilian boat owners to help evacuate the stranded troops. Clare knows the Maggie Bright must answer the call, despite the danger. With an American who has previously refused to join the war effort at the helm and a detective determined to uncover the truth for personal reasons, the yacht becomes part of a desperate rescue mission on which lives—and potentially the course of the war—depend.
A good choice for readers who enjoy Christian historical fiction, Second World War novels, Dunkirk stories, wartime suspense and stories of courage, faith and sacrifice.
